Didn't Want the Pills in Shells.

From the Philadelphia News.
"Gi'me a postage stamp, an wrap
it up soze won't lose it, said a little
girl to Camden drug clerk yesterday
afternoon. can say, can't you gi'me
some Easter cards and a liquorish
drop? An mother wants to know
what's good for a swellin' in the ear. "
"Oh, that's an everyday occurrence
here" said the drug clerk sadly as the
little girl went out. "Last week that
child's mother came here with pre-
scription for forty quinine pills, one
grain each. put 'em up in capsules,
and it isn't nice job for a busy man,
either. Two days ago she came back
here with the capsules in little box
and wanted me to renew the prescrip,
ton.
".Don't put the pills in these little
shells, she said, ''cause it's an awful
bother to get 'em out when want to
swallow 'em' She wanted me to
throw off five cents for returning the
cansules !"

Zeal.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
There is asuburban church, situated
not far from q very attractive and
fashionably patronized slum, which
makes q practice, each Easter Sunday,
after the Sunday school services, OF
distributing the greater part OF the
flowers that have served in the deco
ration of the church among the poor
children of the school. This distrlbu-
ton is almost as popular with the
street children as is the Christmas
distribution of gifts and confectionery.
Yesterday afternoon, after the mass
of the children had been given a few
flowers, the Sunday-school superin-
tendent SOW two hoodlumish small
boys whom he did not recognize stand
ing near by very wistfully, caps in
hand.
"Well, boys" said he, cheerily,
"what do you want?"
"S'm' flowers, mister"
"Belong to the school? don't seem
to remember you."
"Oh, yes, SIR" said the bigger Of the
two; "don't you remember? Pm the
Teller that run away from the Sunday
school last New Year's?"
"Indeed! And what is the cornec-
ton of your friend here with the
SCHOOL,"
ooh, he's the Gully that coaxed me
to run away"
The superintendent felt that such
zeal should not go unrewarded, and
gave the boys handful OF bright
flowers.

from Une PnllaQelpnla freSS.
An old and well known spiritualist
showed me on his parlor wall the 9th
er day shaiowy crayon sketch, full
length, OF little girl, who in one hand
held up her apron full of flowers, and
with the other held to her nose a rose
which she had picked out of the heap
in her lap. 81 gladly gave $50 for
that" said the old gentleman, as he
surveyed the sketch. cit is picture
by spirit artist OF my little grand
daughter, who died at 4 months and
is now II years old.
Evidently the old gentleman be-
lieved, if the picture was as he said it
was, q good likeness, that the child
had not only grown up in the spirit
land, but had found somebody to curl
her hair with tongs and dress her In g.
conventional frock, and then set her
to the occupation of gathering flowers
on the other side of Jordan.

A Famous Detective.

James Jackson, the famous State
detective, resides in Sing Sing, and is
generally in attendance at the prison.
His duties are to examine carefully
the face of every convict as he enters,
and to scrutinize every visitor in or
der to prevent any discharged convict
from seeing his pals. Occasionally he
has to make long Journeys in pursuit
of runaway prisoners or to Identify
criminals convicted in other States.
He never makes q mistake; if once he
looks man in the eye he will know
him under any disguise, as he tells
his man by the look of his eyes. Once
an escaped convict had his nose pared
down one-third, but jackson detected
him at once, Notwithstanding this re-
markable change Of feature. Mr..
Jackson is about feet 8 inches in
height, about 35 years old, of light
and sinewy build, with black hair and
piercing black eyes, and is altogether
remarkably handsome. He knows
about 10000 criminals, and it is SIM
ply wonderful that he can distinguish
long journeys heeats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill
at night. When much fatigued by the
jolting of the cars on his tiresome
trips he uses two Allcock's Porous
Plasters on the small Of the back,
which give him renewed vigor and
quickly relieve him of all WEAKNESS.
These are the only two remedies he
uses, and he attributes his vigor and
remarkable health to Allcock' Porous
Plasters and Brandreth's Pills.-Sing

The Difference.
From the BOSTON Journal

from the BOStOn JOURNAL
An artist in this city, who has for
years been considered one of the best
portrait artists in Boston, was few
years ago somewhat poorer than at
present. He was accustomed to take
his lunch at the little eating house
situated at the time in the lower part
of the old Scollay Building. Beans
were then sold at 10 cents per plate.
The artist called for "beans." They
were brought to him, but before the
waiter left he observed that there were
no pickles on the table. In his gcuff
voice he called: "Waiter! Where are
your pickles? For heavens sake,
what are beans without pickles ?''
"Nine cents. SIR" replied the waiter.

Quarters Decided.
The plans OF the New Columbia Athletic
Club have now taken such definite shape
ard the members have all come to the sup
port Of the scheme so strongly that It's en-
tire success ia now assured The temporary
quarters which have been leased will be
moved into some time next month. The
building now known as "The Osborne,n at
500 Fourteenth street. will be fitted up with
the very best apparatus that can be
purchased.
The top story will be the gymnasium and
a competent boxing master will be secured.
On the floor below will he the billiard and
pool-roOms and bathrooms, and below that
the reading, smoking and reception rooms.
The proposition for the club to lease Ana
lostan Island has met with such universal
appreciation that committee has been ap-
pointed aud will take immediate steps look.
ing to the lease of that part Of the island
directly opposite the Columbia boat.house.
1t is proposed to place wire fence about
It, to grade and lay out good baseball,
cricket and football ground, and half a
dozen tennis courts. The shade trees here
are plentiful, aud large picnic grounds can
be secured with little expense. This will
enable the club TO give many pleasant par
ties during the coming summer.
Since this latter proposition has been
definitely settled the applications for mem
bership have been pouring In on Secretary
Perry, and II looks now as though Wash.

will compare favorably with the best In the
